location: somewhere in the art building
date: three thirty-six pm, december twentieth
with: coda ( @glcwsticck )
she’d spent most of the day... wandering. she couldn’t stay still for too long, restless in her own skin. and, in her restlessness, she found herself in the art building. campus was closed, but she was somehow still able to sneak inside. she’d never been a particularly good artist, but she loved art. it filled her mind like nothing else did. she was naturally analytical, and a good art piece would just give her question after question with no answers, until her only option was to feel.
she’d been staring at this piece for a while; letting herself get lost in it. it was one of coda’s that the department hung from the walls. she’d recognize his style anywhere. he always used the brightest colors he could find, in the most gorgeous and original palettes. like van gogh on lsd. and they always, always made her feel alone, but they also made her feel real. and then, as if she’d willed him there, ella turned her head and there coda was. she gave a small, shaking smile, and indicated the painting with the tilt of her head. “is this a new one? its incredible.”
